I heard —˜Death’ on the radio and immediately loved it. It’s something about the way that it slowly builds, “this fear’s got a hold on me —¦” just breaks out of the track followed by the heady guitar.
However, it wasn’t until I saw White Lies at Isle of Wight …

Hey Bulldog is a song by The Beatles which appears on their album Yellow Submarine. The track starts off with a very definitive piano riff which honestly reminds me of something from a spy movie to be honest, and when the guitar and bass join in, this thought is …

I have mixed feelings about David Cook’s new single. It’s a good single but it sounds like all the other rock-y tunes out there on the main stream. I’m getting kind of tired of the sound. He’s so talented. I know that is his genre of music but I …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …
